    Yeah i dont see the logic in spending couple hundred on a intake and it only gives you 1-2 hp gain but sounds nice, well then again sound is important too lol yeah scratch everything that i just said!

    Depends on how much offroad youre going to be doing, and how much money youre willing to spend.

    I'd get the lift and the locker. Then if you want to up the tires, get tires and gears.

    And for the intake, just get the drop in filter
